# Translating Inspiration in Quilting with Cheryl Arkison Canonical URL: ## Overview Inspiration for quilt patterns is everywhere, but converting those ideas into quilts can feel intimidating. In Translating Inspiration in Quilting, you'll learn how to take an image, a floor, a pattern, or a stack of fabric and turn it into a beautiful quilt. In this class, Cheryl Arkison will teach you how to take something that inspires you, whether it's a shape, color, or line, and turn it into workable quilting elements. You'll learn about both literal translations (copying shape, color, line) and how to use the elements you love from an image to enhance your quilts. Cheryl will teach you how to effectively capture ideas so you can refer to them later and show you some sketchbook basics for making notes by hand. This class will give you the tools to bring your imaginative ideas to fruition and equip you to make truly inspired quilts. ## Instructors ### Cheryl Arkison Cheryl is a quilter, writer, and mom.
